Proteus

This software is like a writer's Drill Sargent. Especially useful for punishingcuring writer's block. The freewriting mode is like a Freudian free association session, the software throws out words at the player and makes them type to continue the game. Stop typing, you lose the freewriting mode. No backspace, just type. The looping mode throws the results of the freewriting at the player to further expand on each subject the player types. Stop typing, you lose the looping mode. No backspace, just type. Next, the listing mode is really just a way to divvy up what was typed in the looping mode. So time to relax. The player must type a single sentence in response to their previous listings. No other limits, just a complete sentence for each. The player can opt to print any listing and save up to 15. In the 5 W's mode, players answer the questions who, what, where, why, and how about their saved listings. And finally, in the Cubing mode the player is given room to type about their saved listings. They are told to analyze, compare, contrast and define their concepts. It is possible to skip around to the different modes and the listings and associated writings may be sent to a printer.

This game is not ProDOS compatible and must be converted using the AppleDOS conversion utility unless the user does not want to upgrade to ProDOS. The file format of the listings is also not ProDOS compatible and these files will also need to be converted in case the player wants to use an external word processor on them. This game can utilize a second disk drive.
